Poor Ashley. One bad skate at Nationals and suddenly she's not a Gold medal contender in the media like Gracie?

I know... I tell ya, I am going to be lighting a candle for Ashley all the way to the olympics.
I am also scared for Gracie. She does not need all that pressure and hype that sky_fly is giving her, god help her if she does not deliver because people are going to give her such agony.

Kwan ha never scored a 200+ , Gracie can surely top that
also Gracie has PCS and GOE advantage to most skaters
while she may not win 6 World titles, Kwan entered the senior level at a younger age
Gracie can still win two or more World Titles next quad

Kwan skated only once under CoP. She got 175.30 at 2005 Worlds. Gracie has already beat that (188.03 at the 2013 World Team Trophy). Kwan's score was also beat by U.S. skaters Christina Gao, Caroline Zhang, Jennifer Kirk, Karen Chen, Alissa Czisny, Rachael Flatt, Kimmie Meissner, Mirai Nagasu, Ashley Wagner, and Sasha Cohen.
